Proxy Borrowers in the Leatherby Libraries are departmental employees, research, graduate, or student assistants that you authorize to conduct library business on your behalf. You must designate a proxy borrower by filling out and submitting this form. You designate a proxy borrower to do all of the following processes, in person, at the Circulation Desk:

Place Interlibrary Loan requests using ILLiad. Please note, a separate proxy ILLiad account will need to be created. Contact the Interlibrary Loan Department at ill@chapman.edu or 714-532-7717 to setup a proxy ILLiad account.

Once authorized, your assistant will be able to do the tasks listed above; the Library will not monitor the activities of an authorized proxy user. We will add a note to the patron record of an authorized user stating that he or she has proxy library privileges for your library account through a set expiration date. After that date, a new form will need to be completed, signed and submitted for reinstatement of the proxy borrower privileges. Your proxy user must present their Chapman ID card for all proxy transactions. Do not give your Chapman ID card to your proxy borrower. Please do not ask your assistants to check library items out for you using their own library accounts.

As the library card holder, you are responsible for all activity on your account.
